Johnny Vidal Hogan, a 47-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead in his Waco, Texas home on April 15, 2022, the victim of a gunshot wound. His body was discovered in the 3100 block of Pipkin Lane.

Investigators quickly developed 36-year-old Evaristo Jacobo Garcia as the primary suspect and obtained an arrest warrant. Deputies tracked Garcia to a residence in the 1300 block of Sleepy Lane in Tow, Llano County. After a four-hour barricade standoff with the Llano County Sheriff’s Office and members of the Williamson County SWAT Team, Garcia surrendered and was taken into custody; two firearms were recovered at the scene.

Garcia was transferred to the McLennan County Jail on a $1 million bond. On March 25, 2024, he pleaded guilty to Hogan’s murder and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The investigation included video evidence cited as important to resolving the case and providing closure to Hogan’s family and friends.
